Sonos Move Doesn´t Work

Good afternoon. I have a Sonos Move that just stopped working. Has this happened to anyone? Sonos tells me that it is out of warranty, but it is incredible that such an expensive device stops working when the warranty ends.

SONOS ERA 300 - Use in home cinema and stereo

Hello, After spending a lot of money on SONOS, among other things, for its advertising of ease of use and versatility... looking for a solution for my need, I found the unpleasant surprise that there is no possible solution: you cannot "easily switch" your pair of Sonos ERA 300 to use them in a home cinema system and in another stereo. How can this be possible in 2025? Does SONOS plan to meet this demand at some point or is it not even considering it? Thanks

Sonos useless without Internet?

Why doesn't Sonos play music locally when the Internet (WAN connection) is down? Yesterday our Internet connection was down all day. We were surprised to find Sonos was totally useless despite our local LAN and WiFi working fine. To be clear: we play content almost exclusively from local libraries and those devices were working normally the whole time. I’d appreciate someone from Sonos answering here. Support just told me via chat that this is expected. I really hope that’s incorrect - it’s pretty unreasonable to require Internet at all times even when playing local content.Also, since our Internet connection came back I've had to restart all of the Sonos players - some multiple times - to get them work right again. Just more continued instability since the app update.

Hello my sonos sub gen 3 is rattling like something is loose Can anybody help please

Robsy45Contributor I

I see huge amount of posts about Sonos 2 Gen 2 wifi breaking irrecoverably. Support looked at diagnostics and verified just wifi is broken on mine (for no reason). Is anybody considering legal action against Sonos for this as it is so widespread?

Sonos Beam and Move In Kitchen / Dining Room

Hi, I have a beam, ones and sub for the lounge - I understand the surround setup and how sonos works pretty well. But I also have a Move that I was planning to put in our new open plan kitchen to connect to the TV in there for listening to the TV and music.Can I just check with someone; if I connect a new beam to the dining room tv via HDMI, I can group the sound coming from the TV to the move in the kitchen (beam and move playing the same sound)? In addition to that I know (99% sure) I can also send the lounge 5.1 sound to the kitchen should I wish. Thanks in advance.

I have a Play 5 Gen 1 speaker for my garden. I have to play it through the S1 App on my Android phone on a separate network. I also have a Play 1 and Arc using my S2 App on an iPad. The Play 5 worked well for most of 2024, but started suggesting I update before Christmas. I have set it to not receive updates as instructed by Sonos. It will now not let me connect to my music services unless I update. Why am I receiving suggestions to update?Has it suddenly become compatible with S2.How do Zi break out of this mess - other than the obvious. Thanks

Connect Sonos play 1 and play 3 to my TV (Philip and/or Samsung the Frame)

Hi all! Hope to get some guidance.In essence, I've inherited one Sonos Play 1 speaker and two Play 3. I'd like to connect them to work as speakers for my TVs, which is one Philips from 2019 and a Samsung the Frame from 2023.Is it possible to connect the speakers directly to the TVs? As I've tried to read up on this, it seems like I need a soundbar to go with the speakers, but I'm not sure.. From what I understand as well, the Frame does not have the right "line out" which is needed to connect via cable.All advice here is highly appriciated!

sound volume leveling

I like the overall sound quality from my Sonos One and Sonos Move speakers. However, the volume levels change dramatically from song to song. I use Alexa voice service and Apple Music streaming. Why hasn’t Sonos implemented volume leveling???

stereopaar installatie van Symfonisk speakers

Hallo, Ik kan mijn 2 Symfonisk speakers ( gen 2) niet als stereopaar installeren in de app. Alles lijkt goed te gaan maar als op het eind het mooie stereo geluidje klinkt ten teken dat het klaar is, hoor ik maar uit 1 speaker dat geluid.Als ik het met de andere speaker doe hoor ik alleen de andere speaker. Heb alles al losgekoppeld maar dat hielp ook niet. Ik lees niemand anders die dit probleem heeft, vandaar deze hulp vraag.Ter info, ik heb ook nog een beam soundbar (gen 2 ) maar die staat los van dit probleem. De losse symfonisk speakers worden wel herkend in de app en zijn geupdate.Moderator edit:Google Translate-Hello,I can't install my 2 Symfonisk speakers (gen 2) as a stereo pair in the app. Everything seems to be going well, but when the nice stereo sound sounds at the end to indicate that it is finished, I only hear that sound from 1 speaker.When I do it with the other speaker, I only hear the other speaker. I have already disconnected everything, but that didn't help either.I

Sonos Move disconnects from Macbook pro in literal minutes of non use

Hi,I have a sonos move in my office and when I connect it to my MacBook pro it plays beautifully. The problem is if I have to pause to take a call or have a conversation - even like 2-3 minutes, the move disconnects and then I have to switch back to MacBook pro speakers and then again to the move. It’s a pain the tukus - is there anyway to set it so that it’s always the speaker and it never disconnects?
